J. A. M. Writes of "Obedience to Keep
IIS a moral world. The deep-
est distinctions in life are those
;Which separate actions as good end.
I bad. Ever' eesponsible being ewes
that in condect• ;Mere is a eight and
there is a wrong. Peat lenowledge
of moral distinetious is the basis of
responsibil I ty,
With that knowledge, width =taloa
us men, there must go obedience to
keep our manhood true. We must
not only know that there is a right
and a wrong in persenal actions; we
must do the right and not the wrong.
This is the absolute and imperative
la,w of conscience, and any offence
against it doe* violence to the moral
nature of the offender. The Moral
hietory of the individual and of the
race is determined by obedience or
dirlobedienee to the accepted etande
ard of right and wrong. The stand-
ard may be defective, but its behests
are absolute. To•him that thinketh
a thing to be sin to him it is sin.
• In this day, when a short-sighted
and selfish utility is set 'up as the
criterion of We, it •is worth while
recalling ourselves to the soberer
I judgment not of the Bible only, but
of all the great moral teachers of
the world. .A, man's true nobleness
is in his moral integrity; he must be
true to himself d to the life he
has. It to his owl!! sense of right he
is not true, if he shuts his eyes to
the, light or is blinded by selfishness
or parsion, he plays over again in
his own personal history the tragedy
of Macbeth, and, whatever the gain,
there stands against hen the crime
of moral suicide. Every sin against
the light is self -murder.
•en the ordinary affairs of common
life the testing comes unannounced,
and in the secret chamberot the
moral nature the choice is Made.
That choice makes for the fixing of
character. ef to the "Thou shalt"
of conscience refusal is given, that
sin against the light makes the light
hateful and blinds the eyes. There
comes a time in the down -grade
journey of a moral being when. the
light which at first was refused, then
hated, is no •longer seen.• Then it Is
that the interior light is darkness
and evil is chosen instead of good.
There is needed this day a strong
voice in thehome, in the school, he
the church, in .the street, caUing
aloud and "earnestly to a generation
given over to shallower thoughts,
that life is not a jest, that truth is
truth, and only they who. tieek it
• shell keep it; that only they who love
the light shall find it, and that to.
sin against the light we •have is to.
lose the power of seeing. We may 'do
evil in doing what we think is right;
we do the • greatest evil, even the.
murder �f conscience in the eotil$
when WO do what we think is wrong..
The sense,. of .right is the divinest
thing in human nature. -J. A.
